Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.0.13-7
Severity: wishlist

# COLUMNS=7777 man passwd|spell
TheUNIX
# passwd
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:

Looks like I'm connected to an AT&T UNIX machine. Better to say Linux
or better yet the hostname itself, in case one is ssl'ed several
layers thick and must be sure about what machine one is changing the
passwd of.

Also on the man page the long --options are not in the SYNOPSIS,
and these
     passwd [-x max] [-n min] [-w warn] [-i inact] login
should probably be
     passwd [-x MAX_DAYS] [-n MIN_DAYS] [-w WARN_DAYS] [-i INACTIVE_DAYS] login
to match the below part of the man page, or at least say
     passwd [-x days] [-n days] [-w days] [-i days] login
and INACTIVE should be INACTIVE_DAYS to match the others...

Also
$ passwd
Changing password for jidanni
(current) UNIX password:
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
Bad: new password is too short

  Only now you tell me, after having typed it twice.

Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:

 User cannot ^C out of it. User thinks oh no, my password will now be
 some control chars I hit trying to escape.

Sorry, passwords do not match
passwd: Authentication information cannot be recovered

 Better to say "password unchanged". "Authentication information
 cannot be recovered" sounds like he just deleted his account.
